Sunderland has confirmed that veteran forwards Danny Graham and Steven Fletcher will not be retained by the club.

Graham made 10 Premier League appearances this season with the Black Cats, failing to score a goal, but found success in the second half of the season while on loan at Blackburn Rovers, where he scored seven Championship goals in 18 appearances. Fletcher, meanwhile, spent nearly four seasons at the Stadium of Light before his loan to Marseille in the winter transfer window. The Scottish international scored four Premier League goals this season before the loan, where he scored three times for the French giants. The pair will become free agents on July 1.

Steven Fletcher's Sunderland career appears to be over as the club has loaned him to Marseille for the remainder of the season in a late move on deadline day.

Fletcher's contract at Sunderland expires this summer, meaning he will become a free agent at the end of his loan spell in Ligue 1. The Scotland international made 16 Premier League appearances for the club this year, scoring four goals in the process, but was deemed surplus to requirements in the Northeast after the arrival of Dame N'Doye from Trabzonspor. Overall, Fletcher scored 23 goals in 108 appearances in his Sunderland career since arriving from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2012. Mon, Feb 1, 2016 04:37:00 PM

Sunderland could see the return of Jermain Defoe this week, but may also have to deal with the possibility of losing Steven Fletcher after the forward suffered a foot injury in training.

Manager Sam Allardyce already confirmed Sebastian Larsson (knee) and Lee Cattermole (back) will miss the weekend match against Watford and Fletcher could soon join the list: "We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if that’s causing him a problem to be selected for Saturday." Fletcher has started the last eight Premier League matches for the Black Cats, scoring three goals and also adding an assist. Defoe, meanwhile, has returned to training from a hamstring injury and looks likely to be available for the weekend while Fabio Borini and Duncan Watmore could also see playing time.

Sunderland supporters can finally exhale as they grab their first win of the season, helped by a goal and penalty assist by Steven Fletcher.

It was anyone's match as the halftime whistle approached, but Fletcher drew a penalty when he was knocked down in the box to set up a penalty chance, which was converted by Adam Johnson. With the man advantage, they began setting the tempo in the second frame and Billy Jones was able to tap one in from a Yann M'Vila pass into the area. Fletcher would then put the cherry on top with a goal late on, volleying home from a Younes Kaboul cross. Fans are buzzing and have some renewed hope with Big Sam now in charge, but it is still going to be an uphill climb to move safely away from the relegation zone. Sun, Oct 25, 2015 10:04:00 AM
